Graham Couch: Iowa Basketball is a mid-major roster

Well I tend to agree with this Bohannon being so bad really limits what Fran can do defensively. You can only hide him so much and when people blow by him it really puts everyone else in a bad spot

Baylor found a way to play decent defense with Brady Heslip running around in circles.

Of course, Drew is a much smarter coach than Fran. Like the way a glacier is much faster than a rock.

Heslip is bigger than Bohannon and a lot more athletic
 
Well woodbury even improved under fran.

Uhl and Basabe are ones that come to mind that regressed noticeably.

Ogelsby Wagner and Ellingson were roll players that did not even get to where they need to be.

that is 5 for sure that did not pan out like I thought they could.

When 4 of them are on the same team you are going to struggle for wins

McCabe, Cartwright, Pemsl, Gesell, Basabe, Uhl, Clemmons, Woodbury, Ellingson, Ogelsbly and Wagner are players that didn't transfer out to another basketball program where you could say they didn't improve or got worse. That's a ton of players

Care to explain how Woodbury, Clemmons, Cartwright, Pemsl, and Woodbury did not improve? I am not saying they were stars.

He did not improve every year? He was a project player, but he did improve every year fromFR to Sr year.
He really wasn't supposed to be a project player. He was considered one of the best high school posts in the country.

Pemsl was coming off injury and got injured. He is a soph.

Cartwright had his role changed to a facilitator and only took 1/3 of the 3s he took the year before and also had 30 less turnovers to go along with a better FT percentage. Advanced stats tell a different story. He also played with Gatens that senior year I beleive where Gatens was given a greater roll by the Iowa staff.

So you pointed out that Pemsl and Cartwright are also on the list of guys that did not improve. I do not see that with the stats man.

Try looking at their whole body of work, injuries, Cartwright also was injured I believe his last year. I am not making excuses I am just look at things a little more in depth I guess.
